Buy Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004... and help save the world

Seattlepi.com has an interesting series of articles on the work that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is doing on improving world health. I know it's easy to be cynical about Gates' investments in such things, but the sheer scope and numbers are quite dizzying. For example:

• he is pumping $800 million a year into his global health initiative -- nearly matching the entire World Health Organization budget.
• Gates' immunization efforts have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

One of my colleagues pointed out how working for Microsoft (and being a customer of Microsoft) we contribute in some small way to this ingoing work.

  What does this have to do with BizTalk?! :)
  
  But really, I don't think anyone can be cynical about the money Gates donates. Although he's thought of as the richest person on earth (as far as money and such goes), there are a lot of other people that can't compain either, with their billions. But do we hear them donating half as much? I think not!
  
  So I say, go Bill! And Melinda ofcourse! ;)

  well if you buy BizTalk... MS makes a little more money... and our shareprice goes up a little... and Bill's net worth goes up... and he sells more stock (and the price goes back down :-) ) and he spends more money on Global Health... see, it's simple :-)
  and hey, BTS is one of the products I look after so I never miss a chance to get it out there :-)
